Just spoke with him tonight for a bit. My order sheet was supposed to be in my email but it got lost in space somewhere. Can I ask your 'stats' as far as ordering the 2-2a's? That's what I was going to order but after speaking with him I'm a bit on the fence between that and maybe the 3's. I guess the 3's (at least one set) are lower the way I understood it and that's one thing I'm looking for. Reading the web site though they would also not be adjustable which concerns me. the 2-2a's appear to be just a hair higher but adjustable. Appreciate your input in advance

#2s are emulsion type, with mixed gas and oil, while #3s are separated and they also have superior damping. When I talked through the options with Howard (about 3 years ago now) I was happy the #3s were the better choice. If you ride 2-up a lot they are worth considering.

I thought emulsion was something about the paint finish lmao......makes more sense. I definitely want the ride as low as I can but don't want to compromise the ride quality otherwise it defeats the purpose of putting 'em on. Decisions, decisions

I have the 2-2a's. These are 12" shocks that have about 3 1/4" of stroke. That is more stroke than you can get out of the 3-3's and frankly will give you more preload adjustment compared to the 3-3's. Given you weight factor and riding 2up I would suggest the 2-2a's and let Howard do his magic with building the shocks and supplying just the right spring for the job.
